Introduction
===============================================================================
Hello, and welcome to my 11th FAQ for IGN. I have decided to make this one
about one of my favorite games of all time. This was the only thing I could
think of, so this will have to do. In here I will tell you about Wanted Levels
(what is it, stuff like that), what will come after you, and at the end,
places to steal Rhinos easy (or fun places.)
Section - II
===============================================================================
Wanted Level
===============================================================================
What is a Wanted Level you ask, it is when the cops are on to you. When you do
something bad, you get a wanted level. There are six levels (stars) that you
can get:
One Star
Two Stars
Three Stars
Four Stars
Five Stars
Six Stars
One star being the easiest, and six stars being the hardset the cops are
trying to kill you. It is actually very easy to get a Wanted Level, and also
easy to get rid of them.
Ways of getting rid of Wanted Level Stars:
Pay 'n' Spray - This is the way you will probably be doing it in the start
of the game. You drive your car in here, and you pay $1,000 to get your car
resprayed. All damage is fixed, and your car will be a differnt color. The real
purpose, is to get rid of your Wanted Level. As soon as you get your car
resprayed, your Wanted Level is gone.
Police Bribes - These can be found throughout the game, just lying around.
Also, you can get them at your hideout, by doing twenty Vigilante levels in
each of the three places in Liberty City. For every ten you do, you get one.
You can only get two from each place, so thats why I said twenty before. So,
you can get a total of six Police Bribes at your hidouts by doing the
Vigilante Missions! That is enough to get rid of the highest Wanted Level you
can get, very easy!!
Wait it out - This only works if you have a one star Wanted Level. All you
must do, is drive around or just sit and wait and it will go away if you don't
do anything bad. This method will not work if your Wanted Level is over two
stars.
Throughout the course of one game, you will probably get over a thousand
Wanted Level Stars. There is nothing wrong with that, that is to be expected
with the things you can do in this game.
Now you should know what a Wanted Level is, lets move on to what comes after
you at the levles!
Section - III
===============================================================================
The Law and Her Goons
===============================================================================
I will be telling you all about the levels now.
One Star
Who comes after you - Cop
Weapon (s) - Fists
Vehicle (s) - Police Car (one Cop in a car)
Ways of getting this Wanted Level - Punch a Cop, kill a bunch of people, steal
a car in front of a Cop, kill a person in front of a Cop, try to steal a
Police Car from a Cop, ram a Police Car on the rode.
Notes - This is very easy to get, you will probably get this so many times.
Don't worry to much about these fools, they don't do much damage. They can
bust you, but they give up very easy on you if you run.
Two StarsWho comes after you - Cops
Weapon (s) - Fists, Pistol
Vehicle (s) - Police Car (two cops in a car)
Ways of getting this Wanted Level - Point a gun at a cop, run over and kill a
Cop, kill a bunch of people until you get it.
Notes - From here on in, the Cops will not leave you alone. You must get rid
of them, by the Pay 'n' Spray or Police Bribes. The Cops now have guns, so
watch out. They now try harder to arrest you and kill you.
Three StarsWho comes after you - Cops
Weapon (s) - Fists, Pistol
Vehicle (s) - Police Car and Helicopter (two cops in a car)
Ways of getting this Wanted Level - Kill a bunch of people until you get it.
Notes - The cops are even more deadly now, they will now ram your car even
more. More will come after you now, so watch your back. The Cops will try and
set up rode blocks with there Police Cars also. From now on, a Helicopter will
hover over you. It has a gun, and it will shoot at you. If you stand still you
have a greater chance of being hit by the bullets. The people inside it will
tell you to stop, but ignore them. Even if you do stop, they will shoot at
you. The only way to get rid of it, is to shoot it down with the Rocket
Laucher, which you can not get until later in the game.
Four StarsWho comes after you - Cops and S.W.A.T teams
Weapon (s) - Fists and Pistols (Cops) Fists, Pistol, Uzi (S.W.A.T)
Vehicle (s) - Police Car, Helicopter, Enforcer (two Cops in a Police Car, four
S.W.A.T people in the Enforcers.)
Ways of getting this Wanted Level - Kill a bunch of people until you get it.
Notes - You still have the Police Cars and the Helicopters trying to kill you,
but now the Enforcer joins the party. The Enforcer is bigger then the Police
Car, and it does more damage to your vehicle when it rams yours. Some times,
there will be a rode block of Enforcers trying to stop you. The Helicopter
will hover over you. It has a gun, and it will shoot at you. If you stand
still you have a greater chance of being hit by the bullets. The people inside
it will tell you to stop, but ignore them. Even if you do stop, they will
shoot at you. The only way to get rid of it, is to shoot it down with the
Rocket Laucher, which you can not get until later in the game.
Five StarsWho comes after you - Cops, S.W.A.T teams, and the FBI
Weapon (s) - Fists and Pistols (Cops) Fists, Pistols, Uzi (S.W.A.T) Fists,
Pistol, AK47 (FBI)
Vehicle (s) - Police Car (Cops, two to a car) Helicopter, Enforcer (S.W.A.T,
four to a car), FBI Car (FBI, four to a car)
Ways of getting this Wanted Level - Kill a bunch of people until you get this
wanted level.
Notes - You can not get this Wanted Level until you unlocked the second
Island! It will not happen unless you do. This level is brutal, the FBI Cars
just keep coming and coming, there are so many of them. They ae fast cars, so
they can catch up to you and ram you hard. That not the worst part, it's when
they get out of there cars. Four FBI people will come out of one car. They
have AK47's, so they can kill you fast if you do not kill them fast or run
away. You should not get out of your car with them around, unless you are sure
you can kill them fast. Somethings the FBI people will make road blocks with
the FBI Cars as well. The Helicopter will hover over you. It has a gun, and it
will shoot at you. If you stand still you have a greater chance of being hit
by the bullets. The people inside it will tell you to stop, but ignore them.
Even if you do stop, they will shoot at you. The only way to get rid of it, is
to shoot it down with the Rocket Laucher, which you can not get until later in
the game.
Six StarsWho comes after you - Cops and the Army
Weapon (s) - Fists and Pisols (Cops), Fists, Pistols, Grenades, M-16 (Army)
Vehicle (s) - Police Cars (two cops to a car), Helicopter, Barrocks OL (two
Army guys to a truck) Rhino (two Army guys to a Tank.)
Ways of getting this Wanted Level - Kill a bunch of people until you get it.
Notes - You can not get this Wanted Level until you unlock the tird Island.
Don't even try before then, it will not work no matter how many peple you
kill. Do not even bother running away in this level. The S.W.A.T teams and the
FBI will no longer come after you, and the Cops barly show up. Your main worry
is the Army. The Barrocks OL's you can handle, they are just big trucks which
can ram you hard (opps sorry, I said you could handle them ^_^.) The big and I
mean big problem are the Rhino's. Yes, it is a tank. If it comes into contact
with your vehicle, you will blow up and die instantly. You do not want that to
happen, so forget about running away in a car. But then we have another
problem, you do not want to get out of your vehicle either. You will soon
learn why if you do when an Army vehicle is around you. The Army guys have the
best weapon in the game, the M-16. Only a few rounds from this gun will kill
you. You will die in a matter of seconds if you come under fire from them. As
long as I have been playing GTA3, I have never seen the Army guys use those
Grenades they carry around. If you do drive around (you won't live for long if
you do) the Barrocks OL's will make road blocks. As many as three Rhino's can
come at you at once, no more. You do not want to fight in this level (unless
you want the Rhino, read the next section for that) you want to get rid of
this Wanted Level so you can live.
That's all of the Wanted Levels. So you see, do not take the law lightly, you
will die.
Section - IV
===============================================================================
Places to steal Rhinos
===============================================================================
You can try and steal a Rhino from the Army in any place, but I have found a
bunch of places where it is somewhat easier. Some of them are for fun, and I
will say that.
It is nice to have full Health and Armor, and all the weapons when trying to
steal one, but only a few are really important for most of them: Flamethrower,
Grenades, Sniper Rilfe, Rocket Launcher powerful gun.
PortlandRush Constuction Company - This is the place near your Hideout that has glass
windows all around it. Work up a Wanted Level of six stars, and make sure you
are inside of the place. Because of a glitch in the game, we can easily steal
Rhinos in the game. When you see a Rhino, lead it right next to the place by
going outside so it can see you. Then go right back inside, now go beind one
of the corners. Take out your Flamethrower, and roast those Army guys when
they come out. When they are dead, go out and take your Rhino.
Top of Luigi's Club - This isn't one of the best places, but it works. Work up
a Wanted Level of six stars, and be on the top of Luigi's Club. Shoot down any
Helicopters with your Rocket Launcher. When a Rhino comes along, wait for te
Army guys to come out. Don't stand right against the edge, they will kill you.
Throw a Grenade down there, and pray that you killed them. Now jump down, and
if they died, take the Rhino. If they did not, you will die in a few seconds.
Use this method only if you want a little fun.
Stair case across the street from Luigi's Club - You will have to go across
the street, into a ally, up the stairs, and then you will be there. Work up a
Wanted Level of six stars, and wair for a Rhino to come along. When some Army
guys come out, throw a Grenade down and pray that they died. Then jump down,
and steal it if they did. If one lived, you will die in a few seconds.
Easy Credit Autos - This is the place in 8-Ball's area. Work up a Wanted Level
of six stars, and make sure you are inside of the place. When you see a Rhino,
lead it right next to the place by going outside so it can see you. Then go
right back inside, now go beind one of the corners. Take out your
Flamethrower, and roast those Army guys when they come out. When they are
dead, go out and take your Rhino. This is a easy way to do it.
Place next to the Old School Hall - This one is more for fun. It is that
little place next to the Old School Hall, go inside it. It also has a Rampage
and a Hidden Package in it. Work up a Wanted Level of six stars, and lead a
Rhino to the enterance. When the Army guys get out, shoot a Rocket at them,
from your Rocket Launcher. As long as you don't die, this will kill them. Now
take the Rhino.
Triad Headquarters - This one is also just for fun, because you will die more
times then you don't. You will nead a Triad vehicle first of all to open up
the gates. Work up a Wanted Level of six stars, and lead a Rhino to the gate.
If you happen to get it before being blown up, get out and take out your
Flamethrower and roast the Army guys. Or, you could stick the Triad vehicle in
between the gate so it is always open, and you can just slip in. Then you
could roast them with your Flamethrower, or kill them with a Grenade. Then
take the Rhino when they are dead.
Stauton IslandSave House - Yes, this is a very good place actually. Work up a six star
Wanted Level, then lead a Rhino inside of your hideout. Take out your Rocket
Launcher, and shoot the Rhino when the Army guys come out to kill them. You
could also go inside your garage, and just kill them by lighting them on fire.
Which ever way you would like it fine. Take the Rhino when they are dead.
Stadium - This one is manly for fun. You will probably die more times then you
don't. Go up to the top, and work up a six star Wanted Level. Some times the
cars will not come up after you, if you stand far back enough. When you see a
Rhino, try and make the guys come out by going closer to them. Then kill them
with the Rocket Launcher or something, just do it fast! Then steal the Rhino,
and Drive-by any Army guy or Cop that is trying to bust you.
Multistory Parking lot (top) - This one is manly for fun. For this one you
need a Rocket Launcher, Sniper Rifle, and Grenades. Go all the way to the top,
and walk to the spot where the Unique Jump is (the little platform you can
jump off from.) Now either start Sniper people or blowing them up with Rockets
or Grenades. Blow up the Helicopers that try and kill you, and keep doing this
until you get a six star Wanted Level. When/if any of the Army guys get out of
there Rhinos, throw down Grenades to kill them. Then jump down to clame your
Rhino. You will probably just die (either from the fall or the Army guys that
did not die), but this one can be fun.
Multistory Parking lot (bottom) - This one is a good way. You want to work up
a six star Wanted Level, then go inside here. Go up to the second floor but
stay near the ramp to go down, and take out your Sniper Rifle and Snipe and
Cops that come in. When you see a Rhino go past the street, go out and lead it
into here. Go back up to the second floor, and try and kill them when they get
out. Grenades, Rocket Launcher, or Flamethower will work. Take the Rhino when
they are dead.
Pay 'n' Spray - This one is manly for fun. Work up a six star Wanted Level,
lead a Rhino in there and go up the ramp and over to the left. Take out a
Rocket Launcher, Sniper Rifle, Grenades or whatever you want and kill them.
Now take the Rhino if you live. This isn't a very good way, because you can
die very easy.
Ammu-Nations - Work up a six star Wanted Level, then go into it when a Rhino
pulls up. When the Army guys get out, wip out the Flamethrower and roast them!
Now take the Rhino when they are dead.
Casino - This is a combination of the top and bottom. You can work up a six
star Wanted Level from the bottom, then go up to the top and throw Grenades
down to kill the Army guys when they get out. Or, you can stick to the bottom
only and just kill the Army guys with the Rocket Launcher when they get out of
the Rhino. Now take what is now yours.
Church (back) - This is where the Rampage is. Work up a six star Wanted Level,
and go back here. Try and lead a Rhino to you, then roast them with the
Flamethrower when they get out. It's up to you. This one doesn't always work,
so watch out. Once they are dead, take the Rhino.
Police Station - This one is more for fun, because it doesn't always work. Go
in there and work up a six star Wanted Level. lead a Rhino either to the
front, or back, then try and kill them with the Rocket Launcher when the Army
guys come out. You will probably be killed even before the Army comes though.
If you do make it that far, take the Rhino when they are dead.
Broken Glass Window (1) - This one is more for fun. This is the one with the
Adrenaline Pill. Work up a Wanted Level of six stars. When a Rhino comes up,
and the Army guys get out, try and kill them with the Rocket Launcher,
Grenades, Sniper Rifle or anything else that will work. Once they are dead,
take the Rhino.
Broken Glass Window (2) - This is the other glass window place. This one is
more for fun. Work up a Wanted Level of six stars. When a Rhino comes up, and
the Army guys get out, try and kill them with the Rocket Launcher, Grenades,
Sniper Rifle or anything else that will work. Once they are dead, take the
Rhino.
Building with "AM" Sign - This is the place with the Underground Parking lot,
it also has a Rampage on the top of it, and a Hidden Package in the
underground parking lot. Work up a six star Wanted Level, and try and lead a
Rhino down to the parking lot. Flamethrower them, throw a Grenade at them, and
shoot a Rocket at them when they come out to kill them. Then take the Rhino.
Shoreside ValeSave house - This is probably the best place in the whole game to steal a
Rhino. It is so simple, and easy! Get a six star Wanted Level, and run around
until a Rhino comes to you. Now go inside your garage. Take out your
Flamethrower when the Army guys get out of the Rhino, and just roast them up
real good through the wall. Now go and steal the Rhino.
Airport (anypart) - Any place in the Airport you can steal a Rhino. Just let
one in there, and get behind something. Now wait for the Army guys to come
out, the Flamethrower them to death. Take the Rhino when they're dead.
Mansion - Work up a six star Wanted Level first of all. If you can lead
a Rhino to it, you can steal one by going inside that little house right near
the Cartel Mansion. Take out the Flamethrower when the Army guys get out of
the Rhino's, and kill them with it. You could also do the same thing if you
could get inside the Mansion (you need a Cartel car for that to happen.) Take
the Rhino when they are dead.
Bottom of the Dam - This is the place where a Sniper Rifle, M-16 and a Hidden
Package are. You will also come here in a mission, I will not say which one.
Work up a six star Wanted Level, and lead a Rhino inside. A lot of places in
this little area you can use. You could go up the stairs to the top and Snipe
them, or you could hide behind the many places in there and light them on
fire. Do which ever one you want, but when the Army people are dead steal the
Rhino.
Most places in Shoreside Vale - Thats not to descriptive, but it is right.
There are tons of places in SV that can be used. There are many many things to
hide behind and Flamethrower the Army guys to death. Everywhere you look, you
can use at least something to help you. It is fun trying to find places where
you can steal the Rhino's from the Army, give it a try, you will see how easy
it truly is after you do it a lot. ^_^
That is all I have. Those are the ones I came up with. Go and search around
Liberty City, and see what places you can find that can help steal a Rhino.
There are many many places where you can. Almost every place in the game you
can use in some way. The Flamethrower through walls glitch is very helpful to
you. So all you really have to do, is hide behind a wall and Flamethrower the
Army guys that come out of the Rhino to death. Sounds easy doesnt it? It is
harder then you think. The Army people can kill you in a few seconds, do not
take them lightly, or you will die fast. I leave you with that advice, now go
out and find some fun places you like to steal Rhino's from. ^_^
